“Zhoukou can become China's shoes capital, and Taiwan shoe companies will use this as a shift base camp.” At the signing ceremony, Lin Zhaojie, chairman of the Taiwan Shoe Industry Association, continued to explain this to everyone present.

He said that Taiwan-funded enterprises have been doing shoe processing for 50 years. At present, 80% of the world's well-known brand shoes are processed and produced by Taiwan-funded enterprises. LV shoes, including LV shoes, are also processed and produced by a Taiwan-funded enterprise in mainland China. Now, when the coastal areas can no longer be used as the area for the development of the footwear industry, after several years of visits, they decided to put the production base of the footwear industry in Zhoukou, Henan. “To be honest, I traveled through many places such as Guangxi, Hunan, Hubei, Shanxi and Anhui. Henan, as a populous province and a big agricultural province, has attracted our attention.” Lin Zhaojie frankly stated that they decided to use Henan Zhoukou as a shoe company in Taiwan. Production base migration camp.

Some people say that the production of shoes is not high-tech, but Lin Zhaojie emphasized that the footwear industry is not a backward industry. It is an industry that can solve rural employment and allows farmers to achieve employment at their doorstep. Every year they produce 11 billion pairs of shoes, of which only 2 billion are consumed at home and the rest are sold globally.

Domestic and foreign footwear giants "take root"

Earlier, Baocheng International's investment in the mainland was mainly concentrated in the coastal areas, but due to rising productivity costs in recent years, it has had to brewing inland migration plans. In December 2009, the responsible person of Baocheng International visited Fugou County in Zhoukou, and soon afterwards established Fugou Baochang Footwear Development Co., Ltd. on March 8, 2010. Currently, it has formed a production scale of 150,000 pairs per month. . In August this year, it also submitted an application for expansion of production to the local government. It hopes to achieve a monthly output of 1 million pairs within three years and the annual turnover will reach 120 million US dollars.

At the same time, not only adidas and Nike shoes are expected to be produced in Henan. At the signing ceremony, Daphne’s shoe project signed by Xinyang City is also very eye-catching. Daphne’s current marketing methods and design styles have all been studied in the industry. Daphne's shoes will also be made in Henan.
